    Author: Sichkar SY, Afukov II, Stepanenko SM.
    Journal: Anesteziol Reanimatol; 2015; 60(3):65-70. PubMed ID: 26415302.
    Abstract:
    Anesthesia care in newborns has to be complex, balanced and safe. Nowadays epidural analgesia (EA) in neonates during intra- and postoperative period is widely used in Russia. Modern EA techniques imply the installation of a catheter into epidural space at lumbar or thoracic level as well as different approach to local anesthetics dosage. Newborns have special anatomy, physiology and pharmacodynamics which have to be taken in mind when EA is used. At the present moment Ropivacine (2 mg/ml) is approved for peripheral nerve blocks in newborns.
